Foreword:
During the New Year's Day holiday, in my spare time, write an article to summarize the Activity startup process.
Overview:
Activity, as the first of the four major components (Activity, Service, BroadcastReceiver, ContentProvider), is also the most frequently used application component. It is used to display an interface that users can interact with. Generally speaking, we start an Activity in two ways: display intent and implicit intent.
Then, as follows:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, BActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);This is a very simple code to start BActivity, but is the process really that simple? Actually not, this is because the Android system has done a large degree of encapsulation to greatly simplify the cost of our use of Activity. So what exactly has the system done for us internally? Let's take a look.
First of all, we can raise some questions and carry out research with them, which will make us more purposeful.
- How does the above code start BActivity?
- When are life cycle methods such as onCreate of BActivity executed?
- When is the BActivity object created?
- How are views handled and when are they made visible?
Activity startup flowchart:
Process analysis:
Initiation of Activity startup
Starting from the startActivity method, you will go to the startActivityForResult method:
public void startActivity(Intent intent, @Nullable Bundle options) {
if (options != null) {
startActivityForResult(intent, -1, options);
} else {
// Note we want to go through this call for compatibility with
// applications that may have overridden the method.
startActivityForResult(intent, -1);
}
} public void startActivityForResult(@RequiresPermission Intent intent, int requestCode,
@Nullable Bundle options) {
if (mParent == null) {
options = transferSpringboardActivityOptions(options);
Instrumentation.ActivityResult ar =
mInstrumentation.execStartActivity(
this, mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), mToken, this,
intent, requestCode, options);
if (ar != null) {
mMainThread.sendActivityResult(
mToken, mEmbeddedID, requestCode, ar.getResultCode(),
ar.getResultData());
}
if (requestCode >= 0) {
// If this start is requesting a result, we can avoid making
// the activity visible until the result is received. Setting
// this code during onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) or onResume() will keep the
// activity hidden during this time, to avoid flickering.
// This can only be done when a result is requested because
// that guarantees we will get information back when the
// activity is finished, no matter what happens to it.
mStartedActivity = true;
}
cancelInputsAndStartExitTransition(options);
// TODO Consider clearing/flushing other event sources and events for child windows.
} else {
if (options != null) {
mParent.startActivityFromChild(this, intent, requestCode, options);
} else {
// Note we want to go through this method for compatibility with
// existing applications that may have overridden it.
mParent.startActivityFromChild(this, intent, requestCode);
}
}
}We see that the mInstrumentation.execStartActivity method is called, one of the parameters is mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), and its type is ApplicationThread (ApplicationThread is the inner class of ActivityThread and inherits from IApplicationThread.Stub). And Instrumentation has the function of tracking the application and activity life cycle, which is used for code detection in the android application testing framework. Now let's look at the mInstrumentation.execStartActivity method:
public ActivityResult execStartActivity(
Context who, IBinder contextThread, IBinder token, Activity target,
Intent intent, int requestCode, Bundle options) {
IApplicationThread whoThread = (IApplicationThread) contextThread;
Uri referrer = target != null ? target.onProvideReferrer() : null;
if (referrer != null) {
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_REFERRER, referrer);
}
if (mActivityMonitors != null) {
synchronized (mSync) {
final int N = mActivityMonitors.size();
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
final ActivityMonitor am = mActivityMonitors.get(i);
ActivityResult result = null;
if (am.ignoreMatchingSpecificIntents()) {
result = am.onStartActivity(intent);
}
if (result != null) {
am.mHits++;
return result;
} else if (am.match(who, null, intent)) {
am.mHits++;
if (am.isBlocking()) {
return requestCode >= 0 ? am.getResult() : null;
}
break;
}
}
}
}
try {
intent.migrateExtraStreamToClipData();
intent.prepareToLeaveProcess(who);
int result = ActivityTaskManager.getService()
.startActivity(whoThread, who.getBasePackageName(), intent,
intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),
token, target != null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null,
requestCode, 0, null, options);
checkStartActivityResult(result, intent);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Failure from system", e);
}
return null;
}Let's pay attention to a piece of code:
int result = ActivityTaskManager.getService()
.startActivity(whoThread, who.getBasePackageName(), intent,
intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(who.getContentResolver()),
token, target != null ? target.mEmbeddedID : null,
requestCode, 0, null, options);
checkStartActivityResult(result, intent);We can find that the start of the Activity is handed over to ActivityTaskManager.getService(), continue to follow up and see:
public static IActivityTaskManager getService() {
return IActivityTaskManagerSingleton.get();
}
@UnsupportedAppUsage(trackingBug = 129726065)
private static final Singleton<IActivityTaskManager> IActivityTaskManagerSingleton =
new Singleton<IActivityTaskManager>() {
@Override
protected IActivityTaskManager create() {
final IBinder b = ServiceManager.getService(Context.ACTIVITY_TASK_SERVICE);
return IActivityTaskManager.Stub.asInterface(b);
}
};We saw IBinder, so here is to get a cross-process service, namely ActivityTaskManagerService (ATMS), which inherits from IActivityTaskManager.Stub.
public class ActivityTaskManagerService extends IActivityTaskManager.StubATMS is a system service used to manage Activity and its containers (such as tasks, stacks, etc.), running in the system service process (system_server).
ActivityTaskManager.getService().startActivity has a return value result, and then called checkStartActivityResult(result, intent);
/** @hide */
@UnsupportedAppUsage(maxTargetSdk = Build.VERSION_CODES.P, trackingBug = 115609023)
public static void checkStartActivityResult(int res, Object intent) {
if (!ActivityManager.isStartResultFatalError(res)) {
return;
}
switch (res) {
case ActivityManager.START_INTENT_NOT_RESOLVED:
case ActivityManager.START_CLASS_NOT_FOUND:
if (intent instanceof Intent && ((Intent)intent).getComponent() != null)
throw new ActivityNotFoundException(
"Unable to find explicit activity class "
+ ((Intent)intent).getComponent().toShortString()
+ "; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?");
throw new ActivityNotFoundException(
"No Activity found to handle " + intent);
case ActivityManager.START_PERMISSION_DENIED:
throw new SecurityException("Not allowed to start activity "
+ intent);
case ActivityManager.START_FORWARD_AND_REQUEST_CONFLICT:
throw new AndroidRuntimeException(
"FORWARD_RESULT_FLAG used while also requesting a result");
case ActivityManager.START_NOT_ACTIVITY:
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"PendingIntent is not an activity");
case ActivityManager.START_NOT_VOICE_COMPATIBLE:
throw new SecurityException(
"Starting under voice control not allowed for: " + intent);
case ActivityManager.START_VOICE_NOT_ACTIVE_SESSION:
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Session calling startVoiceActivity does not match active session");
case ActivityManager.START_VOICE_HIDDEN_SESSION:
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Cannot start voice activity on a hidden session");
case ActivityManager.START_ASSISTANT_NOT_ACTIVE_SESSION:
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Session calling startAssistantActivity does not match active session");
case ActivityManager.START_ASSISTANT_HIDDEN_SESSION:
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Cannot start assistant activity on a hidden session");
case ActivityManager.START_CANCELED:
throw new AndroidRuntimeException("Activity could not be started for "
+ intent);
default:
throw new AndroidRuntimeException("Unknown error code "
+ res + " when starting " + intent);
}
}This is used to check the result of Activity startup. If a critical error occurs, an appropriate exception is thrown.
We can see have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?
This error will be thrown if the Activity is not registered in the Manifest.
Activity management---ATMS
Activity starts cross-process (IPC) transfer to the service ATMS provided by the system process, then let's look at startActivity of ATMS.
@Override
public final int startActivity(IApplicationThread caller, String callingPackage,
Intent intent, String resolvedType, IBinder resultTo, String resultWho, int requestCode,

}We followed the startActivityAsUser method all the way, and found that the ActivityStarter instance was obtained through the getActivityStartController().obtainStarter method, and then a series of methods were called, and finally the execute() method was called to start the activity.

}We found this line of code:
mRootActivityContainer.resumeFocusedStacksTopActivities(

That is to say, the resumeFocusedStacksTopActivities method of RootActivityContainer is called, and then the resumeTopActivityUncheckedLocked method of ActivityStack is called:

}
} finally {

}
return result;
}Then follow up the resumeTopActivityInnerLocked method, let's take a look at some key codes inside:
...

mStackSupervisor.startSpecificActivityLocked(next, true, true);
}
return true;Through the source code, we can know: first execute the pause operation on the previous Activity, then execute the current score operation, and finally enter the ActivityStackSupervior.startSpecificActivityLocked method. Before starting the Activity, the next.showStartingWindow method is called to display a window, which is why a white screen appears during a cold start. Let's continue to look at the ActivityStackSupervior.startSpecificActivityLocked method.
void startSpecificActivityLocked(ActivityRecord r, boolean andResume, boolean checkConfig) {

}In the code, clientTransaction is obtained through ClientTransaction.obtain(proc.getThread(), r.appToken), where the parameter proc.getThread() is the proxy of IApplicationThread in the system process.
ClientTransaction is a container that contains a series of transactions to be processed by the client, and the client takes out the transaction and executes it after receiving it.
Next, use clientTransaction.addCallback to add a LaunchActivityItem instance. Let's take a look at how the LaunchActivityItem instance is obtained?
/** Obtain an instance initialized with provided params. */
public static LaunchActivityItem obtain(Intent intent, int ident, ActivityInfo info,
Configuration curConfig, Configuration overrideConfig, CompatibilityInfo compatInfo,
String referrer, IVoiceInteractor voiceInteractor, int procState, Bundle state,
PersistableBundle persistentState, List<ResultInfo> pendingResults,
List<ReferrerIntent> pendingNewIntents, boolean isForward, ProfilerInfo profilerInfo,
IBinder assistToken) {
LaunchActivityItem instance = ObjectPool.obtain(LaunchActivityItem.class);
if (instance == null) {
instance = new LaunchActivityItem();
}
setValues(instance, intent, ident, info, curConfig, overrideConfig, compatInfo, referrer,
voiceInteractor, procState, state, persistentState, pendingResults,
pendingNewIntents, isForward, profilerInfo, assistToken);
return instance;
}After new a LaunchActivityItem, then set a bunch of values. Let's go back to the realStartActivityLocked method, and then call mService.getLifecycleManager().scheduleTransaction(clientTransaction), mService is ActivityTaskManagerService, getLifecycleManager() method gets the ClientLifecycleManager instance, and its scheduleTransaction method is as follows:
void scheduleTransaction(ClientTransaction transaction) throws RemoteException {
final IApplicationThread client = transaction.getClient();
transaction.schedule();
if (!(client instanceof Binder)) {
// If client is not an instance of Binder - it's a remote call and at this point it is
// safe to recycle the object. All objects used for local calls will be recycled after
// the transaction is executed on client in ActivityThread.
transaction.recycle();
}
}It is to call the schedule method of ClientTransaction:
public void schedule() throws RemoteException {
mClient.scheduleTransaction(this);
}In fact, the scheduleTransaction method of IApplicationThread is called. We know that IApplicationThread is the agent of ApplicationThread in the system process, so the real execution place is in the ApplicationThread of the client. In other words, the operations initiated by the Activity are returned to the client across processes.
Sort out: the operation of starting an Activity is transferred from the client to ATMS across processes. ATMS manages the Activity task, activity stack, and Activity records through ActivityStarter, ActivityStack, and ActivityStackSupervisor, and then transfers the starting process to the client through cross-process.
Thread switching and message processing
Let's look at the scheduleTransaction method of ApplicationThread:
@Override
public void scheduleTransaction(ClientTransaction transaction) throws RemoteException {
ActivityThread.this.scheduleTransaction(transaction);
}Let's look at the scheduleTransaction method of ActivityThread. In fact, this is in its parent class ClientTransactionHandler:
/** Prepare and schedule transaction for execution. */
void scheduleTransaction(ClientTransaction transaction) {
transaction.preExecute(this);
sendMessage(ActivityThread.H.EXECUTE_TRANSACTION, transaction);
}Okay, let's pay attention, there is a sendMessage, there is no doubt that this is used to send messages, the parameters are ActivityThread.H.EXECUTE_TRANSACTION and transaction, then look:
void sendMessage(int what, Object obj) {
sendMessage(what, obj, 0, 0, false);
}
private void sendMessage(int what, Object obj, int arg1, int arg2, boolean async) {
if (DEBUG_MESSAGES) {
Slog.v(TAG,
"SCHEDULE " + what + " " + mH.codeToString(what) + ": " + arg1 + " / " + obj);
}
Message msg = Message.obtain();
msg.what = what;
msg.obj = obj;
msg.arg1 = arg1;
msg.arg2 = arg2;
if (async) {
msg.setAsynchronous(true);
}
mH.sendMessage(msg);
}(Note, this piece of code is back to ActivityThread)
Finally, mH.sendMessage(msg) is called, so what is mH? Let's look at:
We see the definition of mH in the source code of ActivityThread here:
final H mH = new H();And what is H? Continue to look at the source code:

}H is an internal class defined in ActivityThread, and H inherits from Handler. mH is assigned when the ActivityThread instance is created, that is, in the main method of ActivityThread, and the initialization is that the main thread already has the mainLooper, so using this mH to sendMessage sends the message to the main thread.
Let's take a look at which thread the scheduleTransaction method of ApplicationThread is executed in. We know that the server's Binder method runs in the Binder's thread pool, that is to say, the system calls ApplicationThread's scheduleTransaction across processes, that is to say, the ApplicationThread's scheduleTransaction is executed in the Binder's thread pool.
Let's look at how to handle the startup of the Activity. We found that the processing of the ActivityThread.H.EXECUTE_TRANSACTION message is in the penultimate case of the handleMessage method. We can find that the ClientTransaction instance is taken out, and then the execute method of the TransactionExecutor is called:
public void execute(ClientTransaction transaction) {
if (DEBUG_RESOLVER) Slog.d(TAG, tId(transaction) + "Start resolving transaction");
final IBinder token = transaction.getActivityToken();
if (token != null) {
final Map<IBinder, ClientTransactionItem> activitiesToBeDestroyed =
mTransactionHandler.getActivitiesToBeDestroyed();
final ClientTransactionItem destroyItem = activitiesToBeDestroyed.get(token);
if (destroyItem != null) {
if (transaction.getLifecycleStateRequest() == destroyItem) {
// It is going to execute the transaction that will destroy activity with the
// token, so the corresponding to-be-destroyed record can be removed.
activitiesToBeDestroyed.remove(token);
}
if (mTransactionHandler.getActivityClient(token) == null) {
// The activity has not been created but has been requested to destroy, so all
// transactions for the token are just like being cancelled.
Slog.w(TAG, tId(transaction) + "Skip pre-destroyed transaction:\n"
+ transactionToString(transaction, mTransactionHandler));
return;
}
}
}
if (DEBUG_RESOLVER) Slog.d(TAG, transactionToString(transaction, mTransactionHandler));
executeCallbacks(transaction);
executeLifecycleState(transaction);
mPendingActions.clear();
if (DEBUG_RESOLVER) Slog.d(TAG, tId(transaction) + "End resolving transaction");
}Continue to follow up the executeCallbacks method:
/** Cycle through all states requested by callbacks and execute them at proper times. */
@VisibleForTesting
public void executeCallbacks(ClientTransaction transaction) {
final List<ClientTransactionItem> callbacks = transaction.getCallbacks();
if (callbacks == null || callbacks.isEmpty()) {
// No callbacks to execute, return early.
return;
}
if (DEBUG_RESOLVER) Slog.d(TAG, tId(transaction) + "Resolving callbacks in transaction");
final IBinder token = transaction.getActivityToken();
ActivityClientRecord r = mTransactionHandler.getActivityClient(token);
// In case when post-execution state of the last callback matches the final state requested
// for the activity in this transaction, we won't do the last transition here and do it when
// moving to final state instead (because it may contain additional parameters from server).
final ActivityLifecycleItem finalStateRequest = transaction.getLifecycleStateRequest();
final int finalState = finalStateRequest != null ? finalStateRequest.getTargetState()
: UNDEFINED;
// Index of the last callback that requests some post-execution state.
final int lastCallbackRequestingState = lastCallbackRequestingState(transaction);
final int size = callbacks.size();
for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
final ClientTransactionItem item = callbacks.get(i);
if (DEBUG_RESOLVER) Slog.d(TAG, tId(transaction) + "Resolving callback: " + item);
final int postExecutionState = item.getPostExecutionState();
final int closestPreExecutionState = mHelper.getClosestPreExecutionState(r,
item.getPostExecutionState());
if (closestPreExecutionState != UNDEFINED) {
cycleToPath(r, closestPreExecutionState, transaction);
}
item.execute(mTransactionHandler, token, mPendingActions);
item.postExecute(mTransactionHandler, token, mPendingActions);
if (r == null) {
// Launch activity request will create an activity record.
r = mTransactionHandler.getActivityClient(token);
}
if (postExecutionState != UNDEFINED && r != null) {
// Skip the very last transition and perform it by explicit state request instead.
final boolean shouldExcludeLastTransition =
i == lastCallbackRequestingState && finalState == postExecutionState;
cycleToPath(r, postExecutionState, shouldExcludeLastTransition, transaction);
}
}
}Through the source code, we can find that: traversing callbacks, calling the execute method of ClientTransactionItem, and what we want to focus on here is LaunchActivityItem, a subclass of ClientTransactionItem. Let's look at its execute method:
@Override
public void execute(ClientTransactionHandler client, IBinder token,
PendingTransactionActions pendingActions) {
Trace.traceBegin(TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER, "activityStart");
ActivityClientRecord r = new ActivityClientRecord(token, mIntent, mIdent, mInfo,
mOverrideConfig, mCompatInfo, mReferrer, mVoiceInteractor, mState, mPersistentState,
mPendingResults, mPendingNewIntents, mIsForward,
mProfilerInfo, client, mAssistToken);
client.handleLaunchActivity(r, pendingActions, null /* customIntent */);
Trace.traceEnd(TRACE_TAG_ACTIVITY_MANAGER);
}Pay attention, there is a line of code: client.handleLaunchActivity(r, pendingActions, null /* customIntent */);
client is an instance of ClientTransactionHandler, which is passed in the TransactionExecutor construction method, and TransactionExecutor is created in ActivityThread:
private final TransactionExecutor mTransactionExecutor = new TransactionExecutor(this);
Therefore, the client.handleLaunchActivity method is the handleLaunchActivity method of the ActivityThread.
OK, so far, ApplicationThread switches the operation of starting Activity to the main thread through mH, and then goes to the handleLaunchActivity method of ActivityThread.
The core implementation of Activity startup --- initialization and life cycle
Let's look at the handleLaunchActivity method, which has a key code:
final Activity a = performLaunchActivity(r, customIntent);Continue with the performLaunchActivity method, here is the core implementation of activity startup:
/** Core implementation of activity launch. */
private Activity performLaunchActivity(ActivityClientRecord r, Intent customIntent) {
ActivityInfo aInfo = r.activityInfo;
if (r.packageInfo == null) {
r.packageInfo = getPackageInfo(aInfo.applicationInfo, r.compatInfo,
Context.CONTEXT_INCLUDE_CODE);
}
ComponentName component = r.intent.getComponent();
if (component == null) {
component = r.intent.resolveActivity(
mInitialApplication.getPackageManager());
r.intent.setComponent(component);
}
if (r.activityInfo.targetActivity != null) {
component = new ComponentName(r.activityInfo.packageName,
r.activityInfo.targetActivity);
}
ContextImpl appContext = createBaseContextForActivity(r);
Activity activity = null;
try {
java.lang.ClassLoader cl = appContext.getClassLoader();
activity = mInstrumentation.newActivity(
cl, component.getClassName(), r.intent);
StrictMode.incrementExpectedActivityCount(activity.getClass());
r.intent.setExtrasClassLoader(cl);
r.intent.prepareToEnterProcess();
if (r.state != null) {
r.state.setClassLoader(cl);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
if (!mInstrumentation.onException(activity, e)) {
throw new RuntimeException(
"Unable to instantiate activity " + component
+ ": " + e.toString(), e);
}
}
try {
Application app = r.packageInfo.makeApplication(false, mInstrumentation);
if (localLOGV) Slog.v(TAG, "Performing launch of " + r);
if (localLOGV) Slog.v(
TAG, r + ": app=" + app
+ ", appName=" + app.getPackageName()
+ ", pkg=" + r.packageInfo.getPackageName()
+ ", comp=" + r.intent.getComponent().toShortString()
+ ", dir=" + r.packageInfo.getAppDir());
if (activity != null) {
CharSequence title = r.activityInfo.loadLabel(appContext.getPackageManager());
Configuration config = new Configuration(mCompatConfiguration);
if (r.overrideConfig != null) {
config.updateFrom(r.overrideConfig);
}
if (DEBUG_CONFIGURATION) Slog.v(TAG, "Launching activity "
+ r.activityInfo.name + " with config " + config);
Window window = null;
if (r.mPendingRemoveWindow != null && r.mPreserveWindow) {
window = r.mPendingRemoveWindow;
r.mPendingRemoveWindow = null;
r.mPendingRemoveWindowManager = null;
}
appContext.setOuterContext(activity);
activity.attach(appContext, this, getInstrumentation(), r.token,
r.ident, app, r.intent, r.activityInfo, title, r.parent,
r.embeddedID, r.lastNonConfigurationInstances, config,
r.referrer, r.voiceInteractor, window, r.configCallback,
r.assistToken);
if (customIntent != null) {
activity.mIntent = customIntent;
}
r.lastNonConfigurationInstances = null;
checkAndBlockForNetworkAccess();
activity.mStartedActivity = false;
int theme = r.activityInfo.getThemeResource();
if (theme != 0) {
activity.setTheme(theme);
}
activity.mCalled = false;
if (r.isPersistable()) {
mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(activity, r.state, r.persistentState);
} else {
mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(activity, r.state);
}
if (!activity.mCalled) {
throw new SuperNotCalledException(
"Activity " + r.intent.getComponent().toShortString() +
" did not call through to super.onCreate()");
}
r.activity = activity;
}
r.setState(ON_CREATE);
// updatePendingActivityConfiguration() reads from mActivities to update
// ActivityClientRecord which runs in a different thread. Protect modifications to
// mActivities to avoid race.
synchronized (mResourcesManager) {
mActivities.put(r.token, r);
}
} catch (SuperNotCalledException e) {
throw e;
} catch (Exception e) {
if (!mInstrumentation.onException(activity, e)) {
throw new RuntimeException(
"Unable to start activity " + component
+ ": " + e.toString(), e);
}
}
return activity;
}performLaunchActivity mainly completes the following things:
- Obtain the component information of the Activity to be started from the ActivityClientRecord
- Create an activity instance using the class loader through the mInstrumentation.newActivity method
- The Application object is created through the makeApplication method of LoadedApk, and the class loader is also used internally through mInstrumentation. After creation, the instrumentation.callApplicationOnCreate method is called, which is the onCreate method of Application.
- Create a ContextImpl object and initialize important data through the activity.attach method, which is associated with the specific implementation of ContextImpl. The attach method also completes the window creation, so that the Window can pass it to the Activity after receiving external events.
- Calling the onCreate method of Activity is done through the mInstrumentation.callActivityOnCreate method.
We have analyzed that LaunchActivityItem is used to start the activity, that is, to the onCreate of the activity, then there are corresponding:
- ResumeActivityItem The onResume life cycle transaction on the remote APP side
- PauseActivityItem onPause life cycle transaction on the remote APP side
- StopActivityItem onStop lifecycle transaction on the remote APP side
- DestroyActivityItem remote APP side onDestroy life cycle transaction
some finishing
| ActivityThread | The entry class of the application, the system opens the message loop queue by calling the main function. |
| ApplicationThread | This is the internal class of ActivityThread, inherited from IApplicationThread.Stub, is an IBinder, and is the bridge between ActivityThread and AMS. |
| H | Is the inner class of ActivityThread, inherited from Handler. |
| Instrumentation | With the function of tracking application and activity life cycle, users monitor the interaction between app and system. |
| ActivityManagerService | One of the core services in Android, responsible for the startup, switching, scheduling of the four major components in the system, and the management and scheduling of application processes. Its responsibilities are similar to the process management and scheduling modules in the operating system. It is very important in Android. |
| ActivityTaskManagerService | System services that manage activities and their containers (tasks, stacks, etc.) (new in Android 10, sharing some of the responsibilities of AMS). |
| ActivityStarter | Used to explain how to start an activity. This class gathers all the logic for determining how the Intent and flags should transition the activity and the associated tasks and stack. |
| ActivityStack | It is used to manage all the activities of the system, and maintains all the status of the activity and the data related to the activity list. |
| ActivityStackSupervisor | Responsible for the management of all Activity stacks. AMS's stack management mainly has three categories: ActivityStackSupervisor, ActivityStack, TaskRecord. |
| ClientLifecycleManager | Client lifecycle execution request management. |
| ClientTransaction | It is a container that contains a series of transactions to be processed by the client, and the client takes out the transaction and executes it after receiving it. |
| LaunchActivityItem、ResumeActivityItem、 PauseActivityItem、 StopActivityItem、 DestroyActivityItem |
Their base classes are ClientTransactionItem, corresponding to the various stages of the Activity life cycle. |
Summarize
So far, we have completed the analysis of the process started by a common Activity. In summary, it can be roughly divided into several stages:
Initiation of startup, management of AMS, thread switching, message passing, and core implementation of startup.
